Group work

So for my part of the group project I have been looking up what mental changes middle schooler's go through and how we, as teachers, can help. So far I have found that the articles I've been reading are just as boring as the other articles we read. I'm usually never really sold by any of these writers. everything they talk about is so situational based and every situation we are probably going to come across will be different. I don't see how some people can make a living out of researching this stuff. I'm not saying the stuff they are talking about isn't something that educators should be discussing, but the explanations and solutions they come up with are never very convinsing.
